Anneliese Michel was born on September 21, 1952, in Leiblfing, Bavaria, West Germany. Raised in a devoutly Catholic family, Anneliese was described as a kind and studious girl. Her life took a drastic turn when, at the age of 16, she experienced her first seizure. She was subsequently diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and began treatment with anticonvulsant drugs. However, her condition did not improve, and she soon developed severe depression.

As her health continued to decline, Anneliese began to report seeing demonic faces and hearing voices telling her she was damned. She became increasingly convinced that she was possessed by demonic forces. Despite medical treatment, her condition worsened, and she exhibited disturbing behaviors, including self-harm, aggression, and the refusal to eat.

Frustrated with the lack of progress through conventional medical treatment, Anneliese's deeply religious family sought help from the Catholic Church. They eventually found two priests, Ernst Alt and Arnold Renz, who believed that Anneliese was indeed possessed. In September 1975, Bishop Josef Stangl granted permission for an exorcism to be performed under the Roman Ritual of 1614.

Over the next ten months, Anneliese underwent 67 exorcism sessions. During these sessions, she displayed extreme behaviors, including speaking in different voices, contorting her body, and exhibiting extraordinary strength. Despite these intense and grueling sessions, her condition continued to deteriorate.

On July 1, 1976, Anneliese Michel died in her home. An autopsy revealed that she had succumbed to severe dehydration and malnutrition, weighing just 68 pounds at the time of her death. Her knees were broken due to continuous genuflections, a common part of the exorcism ritual.

The death of Anneliese Michel led to criminal charges against her parents and the two priests who conducted the exorcisms. They were accused of negligent homicide for failing to call a doctor to address her deteriorating physical condition. The trial, which began in 1978, drew international attention and sparked widespread debate.

During the trial, recordings of the exorcism sessions were played, providing disturbing evidence of Anneliese's suffering. The defense argued that Anneliese had the right to refuse medical treatment and that she had chosen to undergo exorcism. However, the prosecution contended that the priests and her parents should have sought medical intervention.

In the end, all four defendants were found guilty of manslaughter resulting from negligence and were sentenced to six months in prison (later suspended) and three years of probation.

Would anyone be willing to read a really shitty story about two gay asexual immortals who are both fully aware of the narrative (and one of them does fourth wall breaks every few minutes) and their twenty-year-old goth exorcist barista adoptive daughter?

edit: so I don't have to individually post the link every time

Exorcising demons by saying "I CONDEMN YOU BACK TO HELL" is so funny to me like imagine kicking someone out of your house and going "I CONDEMN YOU BACK TO TORONTO" or "GO BACK TO CALIFORNIA FROM WHENCE YOU CAME"
